Flagstaff Day 2- 5/11/13

This morning we slept in a little bit.  It was a chilly morning here.  We had a nice breakfast and a bike ride around the campground.  Then we headed out to do our hike at Lockett Meadow, the Inner Basin trail.  After a 1 hour drive, we arrived there and the road to the trail was closed...again. I was so disappointed!  I did not see anything in my research the week before that the hike would be closed but here we were again, just like last year!  So, we headed back to the Arizona trail which is right by our campground and did a few miles on that trail.  We saw a horned lizard on the trail.  We stopped to say hello and then started off again.  Leah was lagging behind and when we looked back to see her, she was holding the lizard in her hands and walking towards us.  She didn't want to leave it behind but we talked her into it.  Megan was of course her usual self and worried and crying in the forest...she still has her lingering fear of bears so she cut our hike short.  Then it was back to our campground and we relaxed and hung out for awhile.  We took Lily to the meadow to run around and took walks around camp.  The girls were in heaven playing in the forest and catching grasshoppers and other bugs.  We then had dinner and campfire again.  A relaxing day even though I didn't get to do my hike...at least I was with my family.
